I 1 tp n eon filedniivember 11, 1926. Serial No. 147,775.

This invent-ion! relates, to naiL buffers or polisherstand comprehends,a buffer which includes ,a reservoir or magaz ne andanapplicator-{forpowdered nail polish a ,Amongitsobjects the; inventionconteln" plates an ilnprovedanail buffer prov dlngw'ln additionto,the,bufi'er elen1jent aanagazine' sec ion adapted toco'ntalnasupplyof powdered nail polish together with means-for facilitating theapplication -ofthe polishto= the, nails. '1 1 The invention furthermorecomprehends a combined buffer, polish magazine and applicator which issimple and compact in construction, inexpensive to manufacture and whichis highly eflicient in its purpose.

lVith the above recited and other objects in View, reference is had tothe following specification and accompanying drawings in which there isexhibited one example or embodiment of the invention which is in no wayintended as a limitation upon the scope of the appended claims as it isto be clearly understood thatvariations and modifications which properlyfall within the scope of said claims may be resorted to when foundexpedient.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side view of a buffer;

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view therethrough taken approximately-on the line 22 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view taken approximately on theline 33 of Figure 2. Y

Referring to the drawings by characters of reference 10 designatesgenerally'thebuffer section which includes a base -11, padding 12enclosed by a suitable covering13, and a cap or head 14 which is ofasize to snugly receive the base with the padded portion .of the cover 13exposed. The cap or head is provided with an outwardly projectingmarginal flange 15 and arranged over the cover- 4 ing 13, and the headis the usual chamois polishing or buffing covering 16 which is held inplace by a retaining 'member17. On its rear face the cap or head 14 isprovided with a projecting boss 18. The magazine 5 and [applicatorsectionor unit designated generally by the reference character 19 is'inthe nature of a hollow body conforming approximately in size andv shapeto the buffer or polishing element, the rear wall 20 thereof having anaperture or filling opening ,21' of asize to snugly receive the boss 18whereby sections and 19 are frictionally connected, thesection 10serving to close the filling opening. vzThe outer face or wall 22 of thesection 19 is formed with' a plurality of outlet or discharge openings.23, while the rear wall'21has a marginal: projecting flange 24. A polishapplicator'cloth 25 is stretched and maintained over the face 22 and.side wall 26'of the section 19..by means ofretaining element 27 LAcovering'section 28 of a size and shape to snugly fit either of thesections 10 and 19 is provided and said covering section is formed witha manipulating handle 29.

In practice the covering section 28 is normally engaged or fitted overthe magazine and applicator section 19 so that the powdered polish whichsifts through the opening 23 and on the face of the applicator cloth 25is housed and protected. When the user desires to apply polish to thenails the covering section 28 is removed and placed over the buffersections 10. After the desired amount of polish has been deposited toexpose the buffer section for the buffing or polishing operation. 'Whenit is desired to fill the magazine or applicator section 19 the section10 r is detached from the section '19 to uncover the filling opening 21.

From the foregoing it will thus be seen use and which is highlyefficient in its purpose.

What I claim is:

1.'A magazine bufier and applicator including a buffer section, amagazine applicator section and a covering element having a handleadapted to selectively cover one of the sections when the other is beingused.

2. A magazine buffer and applicator ineluding a buffer section, amagazine appli-' cator section and a covering element having a handleadapted to selectively cover one of the sections when the other is beingused, the magazine section comprising a hollow body having outletsin itsface, a filling opening and a porous covering thereover through whichthe contents are dispensed and by means of which said contents areapplied.

3. A magazine buffer and applicator in eluding a bufit'er section, amagazine appli- 'upon the nails the covering section 28 is againposltioned over the applicator section cator section and a coveringelement having a handle adapted to selectively cover one of the sectionswhen the other is being used, the magazine section comprising a hollowbody having outlets in its face, a filling opening and a porous coveringthereover through which the contents are dispensed and by means of whichsaid contents are applied, the said sections being detachably associatedwhereby the magazine section filling opening is exposed for theintroduction of the contents when the sections are separated, andwhereby the same is covered when the sections are associated.

4. A combined magazine applicator and buffer including detachablyconnected butter and applicator sections, the latter comprising a hollowbody having a filling opening on the inner face and discharge openingson the outer face, a porous applicator covering on said outer face and acovering element having a handle adapted to selectively cover one of thesections when the other is being used.

5. A combined magazine applicator and buffer including detachablyconnected butter and applicator sections, the latter comprising a hollowbody having a filling opening on the inner face and discharge openingson the outer face, a porous applicator covering on said outer face and acovering element having a handle adapted to selectively cover one of thesections when the other is being used, the buffer section hiwing a bossfrictionally engaging within the filler opening of the applicatorsection to constitute the detachable connection between the sections andto close the filling opening when the sections are attached.
